aaronparker Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 We use a proxy configuration script inside the network to download proxy server settings and configure the browser automatically: Tools / Internet Options / Connections / LAN Settings / 'Use automatic configuration script' If this is enabled and Internet Explorer is working correctly (i.e. web browsing access via the proxy server works), the Paint.NET 'Check for Updates' feature returns the following: There was an error checking for update. The server returned the following error code: HTTP 407 (ProxyAuthenticationRequired) No unauthenticated HTTP access is allowed outbound, so a proxy server setting is required, however, Paint.NET does work successfully if a manual proxy server is specified in Internet Options.

Rick Brewster Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 Paint.NET does not work with proxies that require authentication. This is just a known fact, and will not be remedied. You will just have to update manually. You might also look into using something like the ISA Firewall Client.

aaronparker Posted November 8, 2006 Author Share Posted November 8, 2006 Thanks for the reply. What I was getting at is that Paint.NET works correctly with a proxy server manually specified and with proxy authentication enabled. However with the proxy autoconfiguration script, Paint.NET does not work. So in my situation, Paint.NET is working with proxy authentication with a proxy server manually specified, it's just not using the proxy auto-configuration script for whatever reason.

Rick Brewster Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 Or maybe it's the auto-configure stuff it doesn't work with. I can't remember, it's been a long time since that code was written and wrestled with. In any event, this isn't something that's going to be revised or fixed. Heck, I don't even have an appropriate network to test the code on anyway, I'd be guessing.

dan dar3 Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 Hey Rick, If say somebody is willing to download the sources and spend some time to code a fix, would you review the code and put it in?! I have at work a Squid proxy that requires authentication, and it doesn't work with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan dar3 Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 Just found this MSDN article on how to ask for credentials and store them in a standard way, and I'm sure there is a way to retrieve attach the network credentials to the HTTP update call... http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa302353.aspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
